Choice property in Lios na Greine

GRENAGH is one of those villages within an easy strike of Cork city targeted by Cork County Council for measured growth, and in the last five years considerable ‘new blood’ has flowed in its direction.

Located just off the main Cork to Mallow road and halfway between the two spots, Grenagh is glimpsed from the busy N20, served by it but undisturbed by it.

Builders Colemans made a strong drive into the new homes market here, and also sold serviced sites, and now one of the biggest and best homes built there is up for sale, with offers around €360,000 sought.

Number 8 Lios Na Greine is a detached four/five bed individual home of 2,500 sq ft, on the market with Donal O’Driscoll of GVM estate agents.

Rooms include a ground floor bedroom or play room, TV room, lounge, big kitchen/dining with pine units and built-ins, utility and guest loo, and four overhead bedrooms one with en suite, all have built-ins and TV points. The bathroom is extensively tiled, with corner bath and separate shower enclosure. The two-year-old house, with attractive exterior and brick detailing, has extensive insulation, oil heating and an alarm.

“It’s an ideal trading-up family house, and will suit buyers from Tower, Blarney, and from Cork city and those working in Mallow as well, it has good local services and Blackpool’s expanding shopping centre is only a short drive,” said Mr O’Driscoll.
